Nitric Oxide (NO) has a dual role as neuroprotector and neurotoxic in the pathophysiology of brain ischemia. Patients with acute ischemic stroke often have increased leukocyte count when admitted to hospital. Patients with acute ischemic stroke with high leukocyte count often have poor clinical outcomes. This study aims to determine the correlation of Nitric Oxide (NO) levels and  Absolute Neutrophil Count with patients with outcome of acute ischemic stroke patients. The study was a longitudinal prospective study, conducted from June to October 2017, sampling was done three times day 1,3,7. Nitric oxide and absolute neutrophil count were examined. NO examination using Chemwell Analyzer and Absolute neutrophil count using SYSMEX XN-1000. 21 patients participated in the study (14 males (66.67%), 7 females (33.33%), Anova test had no difference in absolute neutrophil counts on day 1,3,7 (p = 0,001) and kruskall test. There was no difference between the levels of Nitric oxide days 1,3,7 (p = 0.716). Spearman's correlation test results there were no relation between absolute neutrophil count and outcomes in acute ischemic stroke (p = 0.001) and no nitric oxide relationship with outcome (p > 0.05). The absolute neutrophil count can be an outcome in acute ischemic stroke patients, so it is recommended that the clinician observes the absolute neutrophil count and can be used as a prognosis in acute ischemic stroke patients and to perform more specific nitric oxide examinations (eNOS, nNOS, iNOS) in ischemic stroke patients

    DIFFERENCE IN OUTCOME OF ACUTE ISCHEMIC STROKE PATIENT WITH NORMAL LEUKOCYTE AND LEUKOCYTOSISABSTRACTIntroduction: Inflammation is an independent risk factor for ischemic stroke, which needs to be inhibited to reduce worsening occlusion of arteries due to atherosclerotic plaques. Increased leukocyte count is considered an acute damage marker of brain tissue that experiences ischemia and is used to determine the severity and prognosis of acute ischemic stroke.Aims: To analyse association between the number of leukocytes in acute onset ischemic stroke patients during admission and discharge.Methods: A prospective analytical observational study with a cohort design on acute ischemic stroke patients in Wangaya Regional Hospital, Denpasar-Bali between January and September 2018. Clinical manifestations were assessed using National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). Data was collected through medical records and analysed using Chi-square test and Mann-Whitney.Results: Seventy-six subjects devided into 2 groups;  normal  leucocytes and  leucocytosis group,  38 patients respectively. The normal leucocytes group was dominated with male subject (78.9%) and mean leucocytes count was 7,612/mm3. While leucocytosis group was dominated with female subjects (63.2%) and mean leucocytes count was 12,294/ mm3. Mean NIHSS at admission in normal leucocytes group and leucocytosis group was 5 (moderate) and 8 (moderate) respectively. Mean NIHSS at discharge in normal leucocytes group and leucocytosis group was 3 (low) and 11 (moderate) respectively.Discussion: Patients with acute onset ischemic stroke with normal leukocyte count during admission, tend to have better clinical outcome two times fold compared to the patients with leucocytosis.Keywords: Leukocytes, leucocytosis, acute ischemic stroke, NIHSSABSTRAKPendahuluan: Inflamasi merupakan faktor risiko independen terjadinya stroke iskemik, yang perlu dihambat untuk mengurangi perburukan oklusi pada pembuluh darah akibat plak aterosklerotik. Peningkatan kadar leukosit dianggap menunjukkan kerusakan akut jaringan otak yang mengalami iskemia dan digunakan untuk mengetahui tingkat keparahan dan prognosis stroke iskemik akut.Tujuan Mengetahui hubungan antara kadar leukosit terhadap manifestasi klinis pasien stroke iskemik onset akut pada saat masuk dan keluar perawatan.Metode: Penelitian observasional analitik prospektif dengan rancangan kohort terhadap pasien stroke iskemik onset akut yang dirawat di RSUD Wangaya, Denpasar, pada bulan Januari hingga September 2018. Manifestasi klinis subjek dinilai berdasarkan derajat beratnya stroke menggunakan National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). Data dikumpulkan melalui rekam medis dan di analisis dengan uji Chi-square dan Mann-Whitney.Hasil: Didapatkan 76 subjek yang dibagi menjadi 2 kelompok, yaitu masing-masing 38 subjek pada kelompok dengan leukosit normal dan kelompok dengan leukositosis. Kelompok subjek leukosit normal, didominasi oleh subjek laki- laki (78,9%) dan rerata kadar leukosit 7.612/mm3, sedangkan pada kelompok leukositosis mayoritas perempuan (63,2%) dan rerata kadar leukosit 12.294/mm3. Rerata skor NIHSS saat masuk pada kelompok leukosit normal adalah 5 (moderat) dan  pada kelompok dengan leukositosis adalah 8 (moderat). Adapun rerata skor NIHSS pada kelompok leukosit normal saat pasien keluar adalah 3 (ringan) dan 11 (moderat) pada kelompok leukositosis.Diskusi: Subjek stroke iskemik akut dengan kadar leukosit awal yang normal cenderung memiliki perbaikan manifestasi klinis pada saat keluar RS dua kali lebih baik daripada subjek dengan leukositosis.Kata kunci: Leukosit, leukositosis, stroke iskemik akut, skor NIHSS
